AI users produced the work a bit faster, but scored 17% lower on a test of what they had just learned. And a similar point to this other study you mention, where folks who used AI as a teacher vs just delegating did much better (though this is just the expectation)
Yes - firms will need to adapt from focusing purely on deliverables and quantity of them, and allow employees to spend some time actually developing skills. Could even part of the incentive package.
At my work in software development, senior developers are an army with AI because of architectural knowledge and understanding. Not all Jr. Developers will become Sr. Ai cant help a Jr. Who just doesnt get it. This is why the study came out the way that it did. Pruning has occurred at the Sr. Level ... those that get it...Will do better with better tools. I think the study and my personal experience is AI is going to be transformative if used wisely.
Anthropic actually had a similar study with junior software engineers: https://www.anthropic.com/research/AI-assistance-coding-skills
